Nintendo Miiverse App Coming To Smartphones And Tablets

The big N dips its toes into the mobile realm.

One of the Wii U's more interesting features is Miiverse, a social network of sorts that allows fellow Nintendo fans to post tips, pictures and general thoughts about every game available for the system, even spoilers. It's a wonderful resource, and soon, it will be available on mobile devices.

The announcement came this morning via the publisher's Nintendo Direct. Miiverse will first appear on browsers, then the company will release a dedicated app. No release date or platforms were specified, and for now, it remains to be seen what this means in the grand scheme of Nintendo's future. Singular app, or a means by which to test the smartphone market? Either way, it's great news for Nintendo supporters hoping to take Miiverse with them on the go.
